Frontliner has been played on NTS in shows including Unsound 2014, featured first on 12 June 2015. Songs played include Weekend Warriors and Discorecord.

Frontliner, real name Barry Drooger, is a Dutch hardstyle DJ and producer, known for his versatile approach to the genre.

Barry started producing in 2005 under the alias Abject. Together with Headhunterz, he created the hits “Scantraxx Rootz” & “End Of My Existence”.

From 2008 on Barry produced as Frontliner, and at Scantraxx. In a short time, Frontliner got a well-known name and he played on the stages of Defqon.1, Reverze and many more. In 2012 Frontliner made the big step and left Scantraxx to found his own label “Keep It Up”. From this point on he became even a bigger name in the Hard Dance scene, with tracks like “Never Come Down”, “I’m The Melodyman” and “Halos” (featuring John Harris).

After all this success his both legs are still firmly on the ground, investing his spare time to do good whether this is by helping animals with his volunteer projects or aspiring producers by teaching them how to become a better producer. Throughout his career he remained to be one of the guys, always spending time with his fans.
